Marshmallow

One of my favourite sweets in this world is Marshmallow. I’ve always wanted to make it, but have always put it off because I thought it would be a little bit tricky. Today I took the chance and created my first batch of Marshmallow. I was so overly surprised how well they turned out, and they taste better than any other Marshmallow I’ve tasted in my life. And I love my Marshmallow. It was super easy, super quick and super few ingredients.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 Cups Caster Sugar
2T Gelatine
1t Vanilla Extract
Sprinkles To Decorate

METHOD

STEP 1: Grease a Brownie pan with butter or a spray oil. Line with baking paper, with a overhand on all edges.

STEP 2: Combine gelatine and 2/3 cups of cold water into a glass jug. Stir with a fork, until it’s all combined.

STEP 3: In a medium saucepan, combine your caster sugar and 2/3 cups of hot water on a medium heat. Cook and keep stirring for 3 minutes, or until the sugar has dissolved. You’re syrup should be clear. Add your gelatine mixture and continue stirring for 2-3 minutes, until the gelatine has dissolved and the mixture is clear. Pour into a bowl of an electric stand mixer and allow to cool for 30 minutes.

STEP 4: Once your mixture has cooled, use your electric mixer on your highest speed and beat mixture for 6-8 minutes. Add your vanilla extract and beat for another minute. Pour your marshmallow mixture into your prepared pan. Your mixture should be nice and smooth, but if there are a few bumps, use a spatula to smooth the top out. Sprinkle with sprinkles. Leave your marshmallow out in room temperature to set for an hour.

STEP 5: Using the edges of the baking paper, lift your marshmallow slice out of the pan and onto a large chopping board. Wet a clean cloth and your knife. Cut your Marshmallow into how many slices as you please, but make sure you wipe your knife after each time. Otherwise marshmallow will stick to the knife, and will mess up your even cut slices.

STORAGE: Keep your marshmallow in an air tight container, in room temperature.
